Room 507, Sunday Afternoon

[dontvotemeout]

Jason had woken up intending to have a nice, boring Sunday, but those plans had been set aside when he got a call from Bruce. He was going to have go to home in the next few weeks, and Bruce had a long list of things he wanted Jason to be ready for when he got back to Gotham. For now, that meant reading, so Jason was sprawled out on his bed, trying to absorb the information in front of him without falling asleep or skipping past the boring but necessary details to get to the good stuff.

[For that shadowy guy!]

Nico shook his head, smiling at Jason's reaction to ice cream. "It's a plan. I like this idea, since our fighting thing probably wouldn't count."

[dontvotemeout]

"Probably not. Ice cream is a good way to start," Jason said with a nod. "I still want to see you fight though."

"Same, well, I guess the opposite is more accurate," he replied, reaching his far hand across himself to try and mess up Jason's hair. Something about touching him just made it easier to deal with all the weird emotions.

[dontvotemeout]

"Hey!" Jason said, swatting at Nico's hand. "Why do you insist on doing that? My hair isn't that much fun to mess up."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Says you," Nico smirked, grabbing for Jason's attacking hand. "I like messing it up." Which explained why he did it every chance he got.

[dontvotemeout]

Jason tugged when Nico grabbed his hand, although it wasn't quite hard enough to pull away. "Why? It doesn't look good messed up," he insisted.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You saying that doesn't make me wanna mess it up less," Nico informed him. "Besides, I like you messy."

[dontvotemeout]

Oh, how Jason blushed at the mental image that came with that statement. "You like me looking like I don't know how to use a comb?" he asked. He was pretty sure that wasn't what Nico meant, but he couldn't resist teasing.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico smirked, trying to thread his fingers together with Jason's. "Yep. Combs are overrated. Besides, it's not like you mind when I pull on it."

[dontvotemeout]

Yeah, that wasn't helping the blushing at all. "That's different. You're trying to get me to make noises when you do that." At least, he assumed.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"No I'm not," Nico told him, laughing just a little bit. "I just like it. Don't get me wrong, I like the noises and I do try for them, but your hair is...nice." He felt so twelve saying that.

[dontvotemeout]

Jason grinned at that, and leaned in to rub his head against Nico. "It's nice?" he asked, clearly not minding the twelveness. "No one's ever said that to me before."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Has anyone else gotten to do this to your hair before?" Nico asked, running his free hand through the back of Jason's hair. He just liked it. There weren't words to classify why and that weird, tight feeling in his chest made him want to slap at anyone who tried to make him figure it out.

[dontvotemeout]

"Well, no," Jason said, letting his eyes shut as he just enjoyed the contact. "I've never let anyone touch me like I let you."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Then that explains it," Nico told him, letting his hand drift up into Jason's hair. "How come you never let anyone?"

[dontvotemeout]

"No one's ever wanted to," Jason said with a shrug. "No one I wanted to, at least." The sleazeballs of Crime Alley didn't count.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Well, I want to." All the time. "And by the gods you're gonna let me because I don't think I could stop."

[dontvotemeout]

"I'm going to let you because I don't want you to stop. I like how you touch me," Jason said, deciding not to add that it made him feel strangely warm.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Even with my cold hands?" he asked, wiggling his fingers against Jason's.

[dontvotemeout]

"Even with your cold hands," Jason said, squirming a little. "I've kind of gotten used to them by now."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Does that mean we spend too much time together?" Nico wondered, realizing he sought refuge from his room with Jason first these days.

[dontvotemeout]

"I don't think so," Jason said, shifting closer to Nico. "I like spending time with you. I don't think it's too much at all."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico didn't think he had to agree, given he practically stalked Jason, appearing in his room all the time. But if Jason was going to get closer, Nico was going to turn and lean down to where their foreheads were at the same height and practically touching. "Is there anything else I can clarify for you or tell you or whatever before I kiss you and probably stop most of the talking for the night?"

[dontvotemeout]

Jason grinned, and shook his head slightly. "No, I'm good. You're good for asking." He probably would have just started kissing Nico instead.

Hey, Nico didn't want to get blamed for not sharing how he'd been on a date with Jason's not!dad the night before. "Remember you said that," he teased, leaning in to find Jason's lips because not kissing him a waste of life.
